MULTI-SEGMENT WEARABLE ACCESSORY
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- associate first content with a segment of a multi-segment wearable accessory;
associate second content with the segment of the multi-segment wearable accessory, wherein each of the first and second content represents a virtual segment;
cause one of the virtual segments to be presented on a display of the segment; and
in response to rotation of the multi-segment wearable accessory, determine whether to replace the virtual segment being presented with presentation of the other virtual segment.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the use of a multi-segment wearable accessory. In this regard, methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for controlling and, in some instances, interacting with a multi-segment wearable accessory. Each screen presented on or capable of being presented on the display of a segment of the multi-segment wearable accessory may be considered a virtual segment, and the number of virtual segments may be greater than the number of physical segments of the accessory. One or more of the virtual segments may be associated with one or more of the segments in an overlaid configuration, such that a topmost virtual segment is presented for viewing while another virtual segment lies below the topmost virtual segment, hidden from the user'"'"'s view. A virtual segment may be replaced with presentation of another virtual segment in response to rotation of the accessory.
